Feedback from one of the foreign fighters that trained @ Keatkhamtorn Gym

It is quite a grueling training program but this is what it takes to make a champion Muay Thai fighter. The trainers are very quick to appraise your level of fitness and skill level to create a good balance between training hard and training smart.

When I first arrived at the gym, I struggled with running 5 km, churning out one set of 120 knees, and muscling through just three rounds of pad-work and bag-work each at the close of each session. The humidity when I first got here in October was still pretty thick, and people would start to sweat at the first few steps of their runs. The humidity just makes you feel you are swallowing something solid with each breath. It’s quite different from training in drier Southern California or even in the summers of Philadelphia. However, hard work leads to progress.

At the close of one month, I average per session about a 5-7km run, two sets of 350 knees, and 5 rounds of pad-work and bag-work each. Sparring and clinching with the Thai fighters here is like something from another world.

What really sets Keatkhamtorn gym apart from other Muay Thai Gyms in Thailand is how much the gym owner (Jakae and his family) try to make the students & fighters comfortable. They insist in taking us out to eat at restaurants with them, offer us transport to anywhere we need to go to (including to and from the airport), and are very proactive in making sure we feel at home here at Keatkhamtorn. Over the course of just a few weeks, all the people involved with Keatkhamtorn evolved from strangers to friends / family. I proud to have trained @ Keatkhamtorn Gym
